    Looking for 3 Position Rocker Switch-like the 1 pictured & Light ideas

    I have a 2014 825i w/ Power steering, does anyone know of a source for a 3 position rocker switch--Off / On / On-- like the one I have pictured below--that 1 is only on /off. My mechanic says I have more than enough switch bays, but who knows what I'll add in the future... I'd like the stock headlights to turn on at first position & then the add on lights come at position 2 .

    I'm thinking of going w/ Rigid Industries 50231 D2 Driving Lights for front & 20211 Dually Floodlights for the rear. I have an Amazon.com account so any suggestion on sellers for these lights is appreciated too, thanks.

    If they are still the same switches that the 2011 825i used - and I do not know if they are or are not - but I am sure your de4aler parts guy could check the head light switch on each and tell you if the same part number or if not - if the same size.

    My source of switches if Overton's a marine supplier - they have switches that are a perfect match for the opening in the Gator Dash - and all kinds of configurations with regards on-off-on

    this link will get you to the switches page on their web site - enjoy

    Went w/ the rocker I pictured above & the D2's from Rigid, what a difference. 1 hour or so to install & they work fine. Some adjustments are required to aim though. These lights almost disappear on the brush guard too. Hope to post pics soon. Now in might get Kolpin's HID light kit to replace those yellow headlights.

    Can you post pictures of your D2's on your brush guard? And did you get the kopin HID's? How do you like them?

    Working on pictures of the D2's guys & no I didn't get the Kolpin HIDs. I received a pair of HIDs that aren't instant on as a gift. I'll time how long they take to come up to full strength & let everyone now.
